CREDO: a friendly Customizable, REproducible, DOcker file generator for bioinformatics applications.

Background: The analysis of large and complex biological datasets in bioinformatics poses a significant challenge to achieving reproducible research outcomes due to inconsistencies and the lack of standardization in the analysis process. These issues can lead to discrepancies in results, undermining the credibility and impact of bioinformatics research and creating mistrust in the scientific process. To address these challenges, open science practices such as sharing data, code, and methods have been encouraged.
